IN BRIEF: On the trail outside of Saguaro, Hoppy meets a young man suffering sunstroke and a bullet crease over one ear. A posse is on the kid's trail. They hold up at Mort Robertson's ranch house. The boy is Eddie Langtry. The girl at the ranch, Kitty, is fond of him. She says he's been away and has a wife, Sally, in town. The young man is known as the Sundown Kid and is considered an outlaw. The sheriff says Eddie killed his wife the night before. Hoppy and Kitty cover for Sundown; Kitty is still fond of him. The Kid later says the Walker revolver he's carrying isn't his; he had a new Frontier model. Kitty's Uncle Mort doesn't like the kid, but helps Hoppy investigate. In town, Liz McKenna says she saw the Kid go to Sally's house. She won't tell the truth -- who Sally's been seeing. Hoppy speculates this man faked a murder-suicide, only the Kid got away. When Liz finally blabs, it is to say the man was Mort Robertson. Hoppy races to catch up with Robertson, whom he's sent off with the Kid. Hoppy attempts a 1,500-yard shot with a Winchester. Mort is shot in the head just as he's about to kill the Kid. It turns out, though, that the shot was fired from 1,000 yards by Kitty, using a .450 Sharps. Hoppy and the sheriff will keep her secret, so the Kid won't be embarrassed to court a gal who's such a good shot. (Swanton)
